India has the highest deaths due to childbirths in the world and also a high maternity mortality rate (MMR) when compared to her neighbors. There are only 25000 obstetricians the country which is a very dismal figure considering there are 24 million births that happen in the county every year. The MMR has reduced significantly over the last few decades but still there is a lot of ground to cover.

The awareness in Indian women towards gynecological problems is very limited as it is a taboo in the country. Even the access to basic female hygiene products is low. Only 8% of the women in India use sanitary towels, rest use various unsanitary traditional methods. The total sanitary market is valued at just over 200 million USD.
